Seems a whole lot of Florida lawyerss ain’t looking to defend the guy the ex-president had carrying his bags….
Nauta’s arrignment was put off cause he can’t find a lawyer….
Donald Trump’s body man “charged in the classified documents case had his arraignment on Tuesday delayed for a second time to July by a magistrate judge, after he was forced to abandon his top choice Florida lawyer over a dispute about legal fees,” The Guardianreports.
“The reason for the rate hike was not clear, but at least one Florida lawyer who had seriously considered representing Nauta decided several days ago that the reputational and legal risks of working with Trump’s co-defendant in the documents case were too great.”
Update….
Walt Nauta, former President Trump’s co-conspirator in the Mar-a-Lago case, pleaded not guilty in a Miami courtroom Thursday to obstruction of justice and other charges connected to withholding classified records from authorities.
Nauta, a former White House military valet, faces charges on six counts in the case after he was spotted on security cameras moving boxes in and out of the storage room at Trump’s Florida home….

Just in: Walt Nauta has settled on a local Florida lawyer, Sasha Dadan, per a person familiar
She has limited federal court experience–her name does not appear on PACER at all–but she has lots of experience trying cases in Fort Pierce, Fla. where Judge Aileen Cannon is based.
